## Core rule

Always deploy as preview, not production, unless the user explicitly asks for production.

## Execution Phases

1. **Gather project state** — Check the git remote, .vercel/ link files, vercel whoami auth status and the list of available teams.
2. **Pick a team** — If there are several teams, ask the user to choose and pass --scope on later commands; skip if already linked or only one team.
3. **Link and deploy** — If linked with a remote, commit and push after approval; otherwise vercel link then vercel deploy, installing and logging into the CLI if needed.
4. **No-auth fallback** — When login is impossible, create a temporary deployment with vercel deploy --temporary and share the claim URL and expiry.
5. **Return the URL** — Report the URL and build status from vercel ls or vercel inspect, without curling the deployed URL to verify it.

## Permissions (summarised from SKILL.md)

| Capability | Needed | Details |
|---|---|---|
| File writes | Limited | vercel link creates .vercel/ link files, and git-push deploys commit the current changes; application code is not edited. |
| Command execution | Required | Runs git, the vercel CLI (whoami, link, deploy, inspect, ls) and npm install -g vercel or npx vercel. |
| Network outbound | Limited | Connects only to Vercel, the npm registry and the git remote; it does not fetch the deployed URL to verify it. |
